1. Correction: Settlments like Itamar & lots more in West Bank
Jack   (03.14.11)
2. 100 % right. Pre-emptive strikes needed ASAP !
Frederic   (03.14.11)
3. Who ever did this must be publicly punished!
Palestinian ,   West bank   (03.14.11)
The act of this predator must be revealed soonest and he must be harshly punished. Many many of us renounce such acts. I say to those crazy lunatics, not in my name. We have had enough. Losing humanity does not make anyone more patriotic. I am really sorry for such insanity.
4. Hey Jack semantics make you feel better?
Zev ,   Israel   (03.14.11)
5. Yes they are human
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (03.14.11)
They saw how Samir Kuntar murdered little Anat Haran and in return lived a life of luxury at the Israeli taxpayers' expense, got married and had kids, received an education, was pardoned and released by Shimon Peres to live in a huge mansion in Lebanon, all this and never worked a day in his life. If you get paid so well for murdering Jewish children, why shouldn't you do it?
6. Who is speaking??
A Pal ,   Palestine   (03.14.11)
7. No, you are wrong.
noa ,   israel   (03.14.11)
Once more you are inciting. Not all the Palestinians did this, someone who thought he could take the law into his own hands. Someone who hated enough. We have also killed, by accident. There is the father in Gaza who lost 4 of his daughters. There are people, children, and women, and even news reporters who we killed in Lebanon, not on purpose. But the intentions don't matter to the dead and those who lost them. I for one will not support the continuing of hate on either side or bloodshed as a solution.
8. Israel needs to build more homes for Jews in Yehuda &Shomron
Chaim   (03.14.11)
If the Arabs don't like it, they can go back to their homes in Jordan or their other countries. Why do they need the little piece of JEWISH LAND too? Aren't 22 countries for them enough? They should leave Israel alone and go home.
9. Are we sure the Murderer is Paletinian ?
Meir ,   Rosh Ha`ain   (03.14.11)
Itamar & Itzhar are full of Criminals who Committed Lots of Crimes and went a way with it .
10. If Baruch Marzel and Itamar Ben-Gvir would be Prime Minister
Chaim   (03.14.11)
the Arabs would have respect for Israel and so would the rest of the anti-Semitic racist world. OUT WITH NETANYAHU & the evil BARAK!
11. #9 Muhamad from Kafr Kassam
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (03.14.11)
Talk is cheap and you lie. Please publish a list of crimes that the people of Itamar and Izhar committed. Not a fake list made by Saudi-funded Peace Now, but anything that the police have evidence for.
12. Palestinians Won't do such thing !
Avi ,   Jerusalem   (03.14.11)
There is No Evidance Palestinians did it !!!!
13. kunter
juan sol ,   san diego   (03.14.11)
Kuntar did not killed little Anat... period.
14. Contract Killings ...To spark reaction?
Peter Morris ,   New Zealand   (03.14.11)
Having read as much as possible and taking note of conflicting statements i.e. killers jumped fence (at least 6 foot). cut fence and that security guard adamant no fence penetration occurred the most likely scenario is that contract killers employed by extrimists undertook the atrocity.
15. Kill of 5 family members
Katy ,   Vienna   (03.14.11)
The pain that is coused here is too unbearable. something must be done about it. my heart bleeds for this family- wich will have a heavy future. May god protect us from those Unhuman Living things wich act worse then animals.
16. right,but what about you?
ivan ,   haifa   (03.14.11)
17. Who Is protecting Israel?
Shalom ,   U.S.A.   (03.14.11)
Israel is alone, the israeli people don't even have a reliable, patriotic government to protect them. Israel needs a change!
18. #8
EM ,   Ra'anana   (03.14.11)
The Arabs ARE in their homes. Their homes are on land that was once part of Jordan. If your proposal if for anyone "to return to their own homes"...it would have to be Israelis who relocated to the West Bank since 1967. Be careful with your argument...it might turn exactly opposite to what you intend.
19. Noa
American Sabrah ,   Givas Shmilkeh   (03.14.11)
As tragic as a loss of a human life may be, I must highlight the difference between being killed in an air raid and being stabbed multiple times while you are sleeping. Surely you are capable to of being able to detect a distinction between both scenarios,no? Need I remind you that Arab terrorists hid among civilians during the Gaza air raid thus causing severe casualties while the IDF puts their lives on the front to protect us from these subhumans.The Arabs use this tactic to blend in with women and children in order to incur outrage from the world and therefore portraying the Israelis as murderers. Murder is worse than being killed in a crossfire. A child accidentally being killed is not comparable to a helpless infant having her throat slit intentionally by these cold blooded demons. You know that as well as I do. A death of a child is difficult enough to deal with but knowing that there is some killer on the prowl looking for children(and adults) to kill is horrifying. The Arab culture glorifies death while we Jews value life. That's why they think its okay to infiltrate a village and go on a killing spree because their religion preaches to kill as many Jews as possible in order to conquer Israel and its entirety.Their mullahs foment violence and bloodshed against the Jews thus encouraging their followers to blow themselves up.The West Bank is their first target. You can bet that they won't stop there. I am not a fan of bloodshed and violence either and I yearn for peace.But unlike the rest of the world who would rather see us all die, I recognize and support Israel's right to defend herself from these Islamic barbarians who incessantly threaten us with mayhem and death. Even if they have to use force, so be it. I would rather not see another fellow Jew die because we allow the world to cripple us with their idea on how we should "retaliate".I will not voluntarily walk into the ovens because I fear the negative attention I may receive from the UN if I were to strike back and live as a Jew.I hope you understand that.
20. #18 YOU should be careful !
Trumpeldor ,   eurabia   (03.14.11)
You google" 1920 SAN REMO INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE " and you read the conclusions. In short, full sovereignty for Jews over the whole Mandate ! I remind you that these conclusions are still valid,binding and part of "international law" ! Thanks .
21. How do you know?
EM ,   Ra'anana   (03.14.11)
Mr. Daum...How are we supposed to kill the terrorists before they commit their horrible act? How do we know who they are? And if we can determine who might be a potential terrorist...at what point in their lifetime do you propose we kill them? Is this the 'light' among the nations we are meant to be?
22. Must be Punished. ( I am Palestinian)
Must Be Punished. ,   The World   (03.14.11)
Who ever did this Must Die, this is a horrible thing to do. No one know if he was Palestinian or this worker from Thiland, or the father committed suicide (this happened before) or some drunk Guy did it... but if a palestinian did it, we refuse to call him Palestinian, even that Israel killed and killing children in Gaza and other places, but we are not like you.... we are not criminals... PEACE (from Palestine)
23. #13
Jorge ,   Israel/USA/Argentina   (03.14.11)
Samir Kuntar is a killer. Mucha cerveza Juancito. I will call migra on you. We do not need mex like you in USA
24. Response
Jonathan Miller ,   Chicago U.S.A.   (03.14.11)
1,000 homes for one life!! Natanyah - should announce approval of 5,000 new homes in the "west bank" and the Jerusalem area. This is consistent with how the Arabs value a Jews life. To release Shalit - they want thousands of their terrorists released.
25. #7 Noa - This wasn't an accident
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (03.14.11)
these murders are inentional, I don't know how you can equate the two
26. #9 Meir - Easy answer
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (03.14.11)
Tracks led back to "PALESTINIAN VILLAGE OF AWARTA" As as I can determine there aren't any Jews living there
27. #12 AVI - Of course Palestinian's did it
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (03.14.11)
Tracks led back to PALESTINIAN VILLAGE OF AWARTA I don't believe that there are any Jews living there You need not worry, one of their buddies will turn them in for the reward
